They mail from Dallas, Texas, Mike, not Weezyanna (or at least mostly).  Not that that little factoid necessarily changes the cattywampusness of the postal situation.

The postal situation in Louisiana is cattywampus.
I still haven't received mine yet either and I'm in the same state.....well Louisiana is just a big state park that's really a part of Texas. 
Gee Mike, In Montana, where they still deliver by stagecoach, I got mine some time ago

I haven't received mine yet. Every day I shall sprint to the mailbox in breathless anticipation of being able to gaze upon items I want to buy and read about the exploits of those I want to emulate.
Now if I can only figure out what I just said.

Freely translated, you just told us you are a spendthrift and not terribly original.
 
Mine arrived over the weekend a bit beat up but readable. I see they got a shot of Steph dancing in front of her observatory.

That wasn't a dance, silly. That was my "ta-dah!" pose after Scott and Kenny finished it.
Still no November issue here.  I think the spiders that keep getting in my mailbox must've eaten it.

Steph,
I'm traveling to Dallas tomorrow to visit our printer and the Dallas main post office from which we mail. I'll discuss with them specifically the unduly long delays you experience awaiting delivery. There's got to be a solution.
Thanks.

Thanks, Gary. Kick 'em in the shins for me, too.
And dress warm, we got a cold front with lots o' northern wind coming through around noon-time and our mid-60s temps will start dropping sharply...

I agree there should be a solution,there's a handful of us who still haven't gotten theirs and it's usually close to the end of the month for me(I'm in WV). I might get mine tomorrow or I might not,who knows(last months came Oct 22). Depending on the class it's mailed,first and second class get priority and anything 3rd class or below(or bulk) probably could be 2 weeks or so since there is ALOT of bulk that floats out there(I get alot of bulk catalogs,etc for delivery)

MINE HAVE AROVED!!! seems something held em up, but the manila with the issues has aroved! I have all the issues but for the very first. I'll have to talk to Gary to see how I could get a first issue copy, so my collection can be complete 
very impressive is what my first reaction was. I wasn't expecting anything nearly that big (thick).
now to sit down and read...
Cameron, Is the first issue April 2007? If so, I have an extra copy I'd be happy to mail it to you.
Just PM me your address if you'd like it.

Gary Parkerson is awesome! living in Canada, I cannot currently subscribe, due to it being considered an 'international' order. because of that, he's been sending me the magazines, as I previously stated. I received the second issue upto the October issue...I just looked in my mail and what's there? an ATT magazine with the initial and the November issues
if I can find out where they sell them on the stands, I'm thinking of perhaps making arrangements for them to be picked up by a friend who will then ship it to me.
I am one pleased customer!
